DR.. Ford, who slew the man who
invaded the sanctity of his house
hold, pleaded guilty to manslaugh-
ter, and has been sentenced to fif-
teen years hard work in the peniten-
tiary. The Picayune concludes in
this wise on the case: ssThe story
is indeed sad one, and when the
Board of Pardons have learned all
the facts they cannot but restore
the prisoner to liberty. He has
naturally shrunk from a dreadful
ordeal of public trial and a de-
Tense which.would involve the ex-
posing to public censure of the
mother of his children. It is left
for the board, therefore, on grounds
of sound public policy to remit the
penalty which the judge must
impose.

The express train which left
Boston last Saturday night at
o'clock struck broken rail and
landed forty persons in eternity,
The train consisted of locomotive,
baggage car, postal car, two passen-
ger coaches and two sleeping cars.
The locomotive, baggage and postal
cars broke away from the rest OF
the train, passing over the bridge
in safety. The rest Of the train
was thrown from the rails, and
continued on the road bed until it
came near the end Of the bridge,
but there it ran over the abutment,
and all of the cars fell into the
White river, some fifty feet be-
low. The gorge at this point is
frightful, and when the cars went
down there was terrible crash.
As soon as possible the detached
part of the train was stopped and
ran back to the scene of the disas-
ter. The screams of the injured
were heartrendering. Assistance
also came from the people living
in the vicinity, and everything was
done to rescue and relieve the In
jured Soon after help arrived it
was discovered that FIRE had start
ed In the first passenger coach, and
soon the entire train was ablaze,
thus adding q new horror to
the already frightful catastrophe.
Those present were powerless to
stop the FIRE, and devoted them
selves entirely to attempting to
rescue those imprisoned in the
wreck

The Sunday law is now estab-
lished by the Supreme court as the
law of the land From the time
it first took effect the law has been
generally observed and obeyed,
save by few persons in the city,
who, while they desired to have
the constitutionality of the enact
ment tested, have expressed them
selves as in every way willing to be
governed by the final decision.
Now that all doubt has been settled
it is hoped that the law will be
faithfully obeyed and firmly en-
forced Whatever defects it may
have can be discovered 30 that any
remedy found necessary can be
applied by the next Legislature.
In the meantime its workings viii
be fully tested and the community
will enjoy such benefits as the law
can confer. -Picayune.

Advices from Tahlequah, the
capital of the Cherokee Indian ma
ton, say that active preparations
for the coming election are in
progress and that the platforms Of
the two political parties of the ma
ton are out-the Downing and the
National. The former favors q
more rigid economy in the expen-
diture of the public funds and an
increase of the revenue, thereby
creating a large school fund; rec
ognizes the fact that education is
the only safety of the indian race;
encourages labor, farming and
stock-raising, and fayors develop
ing the internal resources of the
nation. The national platform is
somewhat similar, though it does
not encourage labor to any great
extent and expects to elect it's men
on the blood issue, as this has been
raised in the distribution of per
capita money.
